We report on a procedure to build and characterize solid tissue-mimicking phantoms of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymers. Controlled inclusion of light scattering titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles enables the creation of phantoms having tunable light
Despite more than 40 years of active research in computational condensed-matter physics, state-of-the-art approaches for simulating radial distribution functions (RDFs) g(r) still rely on binning pair-separations into a histogram. Such representations
Clinical-grade manufacturing of a functional retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) monolayer requires reproducing, as closely as possible, the natural environment in which RPE grows. In vitro, this can be achieved by a tissue engineering approach in which the

Combinatorial methodology is a rapid technique for surveying new gate dielectrics and gate metal electrodes for the very complex advanced CMOS gate stack. Here, we report on a typical metal gate electrode alloy system, the Ni-Ti-Pt ternary. We have
Specific surface area(SSA) analysis is one of the most common, quick, and inexpensive techniques used in analytical laboratories to characterize a variety of solid materials using a variety of gases. The technique is not labor intensive, can yield results
The 1999 ACA Annual meeting took place at the Buffalo convention center, New York, from May 22 to 27. This meeting was held in conjucntion with the American Association for Crystal Growth. A brief description of the scientific and social program of the

The abrasive machining characteristics of a glass-infiltrated dry-pressed alumina used for fabrication of all-ceramic dental crowns are investigated using a high-speed dental handpiece and diamond burs containing supercoarse (180 m), fine (40 m), and
This volume is the fourteenth of the topically-oriented series of phase diagram compilations and the tenth to appear since the National Institute of Standards (NIST) and the American Ceramic Society (ACerS) embarked on a jointly-sponsored expanded Ceramic
The purpose of this report is to identify and illustrate an approach to simplify and strengthen capital planning for information system security in compliance with federal policy and guidance. The report provides the theoretical underpinnings of a
The friction of carbon has been of much interest in recent years due to its good tribological properties. These properties include high wear resistance, high hardness, low friction coefficients, and low corrosion. 1 In computer hard disks, the magnetic
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) therapy can significantly lower instances of infection in chemotherapy patients by accelerating the recovery of white blood cells in the body. However, the therapy requires that HSCs be stored at cryogenic temperatures to

Using the method of site-specific valence x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SSVKPS), we have experimentally determined the Ti and O partial density of occupied valence states of rutile TiO2. Excellent agreement with ab initio local density approximation

X-ray diffraction has been used to study the epitaxy and lattice expansion of SrTiO3 thin films grown on Si(001) by kinetically controlled sequential deposition (KCSD). Unlike films grown by traditional molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), these films have an in
